Definitions
- the task relates to a mixture formation and combustion method for heat engines by means of direct fuel injection through two or more injection nozzles per combustion chamber, the fuel jacket formed partially or completely by each nozzle forming the lateral surfaces of the further nozzles at a specific angle and with a specific assignment of the axis of symmetry penetrates, as well as a device for performing the method.
- Preferred areas of application are single and multi-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines with direct injection of conventional and alternative fuels using multi-hole nozzles and pin nozzles.
- Diesel processes are predominantly equipped with one injection nozzle per cylinder.
- the fuel atomization requires small flow cross-sections through the injection nozzle.
- the fuel exit speed is set accordingly high in the previously known technical solutions, which is achieved in most methods by a high injection pressure.
- a high drop velocity generally leads to a corresponding increase in the beam length.
- the combustion chambers of modern piston engines are, however, very compact. In the case of the methods shown, this leads to the disadvantage of a very likely jet impact on one of the combustion chamber walls, as a result of which the formation of liquid nuclei, a local lack of oxygen or reactions on the relatively cold combustion chamber wall occur, which causes incomplete combustion with increased hydrocarbon emission.
- the drop size and the beam length are partially in conflict.
- the jet length is partially compensated for by some known methods by swirling the injected fuel around the flow axis.
- Adequate mixing or controlled charge stratification is carried out in the previously known solutions with the support of the fuel jet itself or the air flow in the cylinder and the design of the combustion chamber.
- the injection nozzle and spark plug are mounted at a greater distance from one another.
- the injected fuel is conducted to the spark plug by means of a combustion chamber trough, a purge air movement (tumble or swirl) controlled by inlet channels and combustion chamber geometry having a supporting effect.
- the beam deflection by means of the combustion chamber trough, which is partly supported by the air movement, allows a mixture that is relatively insensitive to tolerances.
- the basic disadvantage of such a solution is the relatively high hydrocarbon emission that is caused by fuel wall application.
- the jet-guided processes do not have this fundamental disadvantage, but the control of the mixture formation is much more complex and more sensitive to tolerances: the jet speed and length must be adapted to every load situation, which requires a sophisticated adjustment of the injection process.
- the air-guided processes require an intensive, easily controllable swirl movement of the purge air during the mixture formation in the combustion chamber. In principle, this means that the wall application of the fuel or the modulation of the injection profile at high injection pressure can be relativized.
- the usual flow conditions during the gas exchange allow a rather low flow intensity, which cannot act as the sole carrier of the mixture formation.
- the object of the invention is therefore to overcome the disadvantages of the known prior art.
- the aim is to achieve a technical solution which, with relatively little control effort and largely without adaptation to the combustion chamber, provides the conditions for sufficient fuel distribution to the air in a controllable manner Area of the combustion chamber, if possible without fuel contact with a combustion chamber wall for every load / speed combination.
- the solution to be developed is intended to optimize the fuel distribution in the combustion air and to avoid the formation of liquid fuel cores. This mixture formation should be able to be carried out in a selectable area of the combustion chamber without any fuel contact with a combustion chamber wall.
- the desired solution should also allow the intimate formation of fuel-air mixtures while avoiding considerable fuel contacts with a combustion chamber wall, if possible, for any practically relevant load-speed combination.
- the mixture formation and combustion process for heat engines with direct fuel injection is characterized in that essentially two or more injection nozzles are provided per combustion chamber - which are preferably designed as multi-hole nozzles or peg nozzles - the fuel jacket surface partially or completely formed by each nozzle the lateral surfaces of the penetrates further nozzles at a certain angle and with a certain assignment of the axis of symmetry. If the flow cross section of a nozzle remains unchanged, the atomization quality remains unchanged.
- the fuel jacket surfaces - which occur as a continuous surface in multi-hole nozzles and as a continuous surface in pintle nozzles - are generally diffusor-shaped - as a hollow cone - with an air core in the middle.
- the axes of symmetry of the fuel jacket surfaces are brought together by two or more nozzles in a projection inside or outside the combustion chamber. This causes the hollow cones to meet in the combustion chamber, the fuel drops of the threads or the surfaces of different hollow cones meeting on elliptical lines and forming a fuel jacket, i.e. the fuel concentration is increased in this area.
- the collision of the fuel jets from different nozzles causes a significant delay in the drop speed, which essentially prevents the jets from striking a wall of the combustion chamber.
- the method is characterized in that the self-contained fuel surface with Air core is formed by the angle of incidence of the axes of symmetry of two or more nozzles in a certain zone of the combustion chamber, preferably in the vicinity of the spark plug in a gasoline engine and in the middle of the combustion chamber in a diesel engine.
- air throttling devices can be dispensed with when using the procedure in gasoline engines due to the charge stratification that has been implemented, or the regulation of the air supply can take place largely independently of the regulation of the fuel supply, since an air space is formed outside the fuel jacket, which combusts the combustion of the fuel not directly affected. As a result, a variable air ratio is created outside the fuel jacket in the rest of the combustion chamber.
- the self-contained fuel surface with an air core remains in the same position in the combustion chamber, even if the jet length changes, which can occur due to a variation in the injection quantity. On the other hand, this position can hardly be influenced by the air flow. The position of the resulting fuel surface is largely dependent on the load and speed.
- the resulting fuel surface is created by a combined use of multi-hole and pin nozzles.
- the axes of symmetry of the flows of two nozzles each are in one Combustion chamber in different levels - for example in parallel levels.
- the likelihood of a slight axis offset further reduces the likelihood of drops from different flows colliding. This creates a movement of the fuel on the surface formed, which further promotes the mixture formation.
- the fuel outflow from each nozzle is characterized by a swirl around its own axis of symmetry before the rays strike it. This results in both a more complex form of the resulting closed fuel surface with an air core and a certain speed distribution of the fuel on this surface. This further promotes mixture formation and combustion.
- FIG. 3 shows a closed fuel surface with an air core in a combustion chamber as a result of the coincidence of two injection jets
- Fig. 7 Representation of the meeting of two hollow cone-shaped fuel rods 1.11 ms after the start of injection
- Fig. 8 Representation of the meeting of two hollow cone-shaped fuel rods 1.38 ms after the start of injection with formation of the fuel jacket and the enclosed air core;
- Fig. 9 Representation of the meeting of two hollow-cone-shaped fuel rods 1.66 ms after the start of injection with formation of the fuel jacket and the enclosed air core.
- a closed fuel jacket 6 with an air core 6 enclosed by it is prepared for the combustion chamber 2 of a multi-cylinder gasoline engine, in that the fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber through two injection nozzles 1 and 1a, with the axes of symmetry the flows of both injection nozzles have different angles and meet at one point.
- the fuel jacket surfaces from the two nozzles according to FIGS. 7-9 meet approximately in the middle of the combustion chamber. Due to the fact that the fuel jacket surface of each nozzle is designed as a hollow cone, this crossing of both flows results in a self-contained fuel surface, which includes an air core 7 as a fuel jacket 6.
- the fuel surface of the fuel jacket 6 is located at a location in the immediate vicinity of the spark plug 4.
- the injection nozzles can be placed in such a way that the axes of symmetry of the flows have different angles in horizontal and vertical projection.
- a suitable combination of the jet angle and the axis position of each nozzle makes it possible to inject the fuel even with the intake valves open, without direct contact of the injection jet with a valve.
- Such an extension of the mixture formation time into the gas exchange phase is particularly advantageous for direct injection in engines with a particularly high speed.
